Okay heres a tip for all you folks out there, if a seller says that you can get HP gains, and it's not from a known tuner and is very cheap, then its fake, never believe anything on eBay unless they have proof... people get burned of their 20 bucks on things like this, things that promise 20HP gains...

The guy is hiding his feedback. I wouldn't trust anything he is selling.

lol....
So you disconnect your ECU and replace it (in circuit) with a ____ ohm resistor....nice...
They have BIG BRASS ONES to charge you $10 plus shipping and handling for a 9 cent part. I think the intent of this "mod" is for TEMPORARY USE....a quarter mile at a time....NOT for permanent replacement of the ECU.

If your friend's are raggin' on you about "your car being slow", kick 'em to the curb and let them ride in their POS hondas, cavaliers and sunfires. It's easy to find new friends without messin' up your car.

It just tells your ECU to stick in open Loop (kind of like when you start your car up in the morning for the first time)

I'm guessing the Computer would finally adjust to it, and bypass the sensor after your car ran rich as hell.

Here is some info on it

Here's another guy selling the same thing on eBay Australia. His feedback is showing but you can never be sure whether its just him bidding on things under another alias...

Funny that he doesn't answer my questions about before and after dynos!
